"Many mums have seen our Facebook page and asked for mice for their children to paint.

"Volunteers came forward and offered to knit mice as well, and these have been arriving in a multitude of colours."

In addition to these smaller mice, Christina is making four large mice which will be strategically placed around the town in such places as the police station and Alford Manor House.

A variety of smaller mice made from wool, fabric or painted plaster will be hidden in and around the Market Place and mice containers made from used plastic milk cartons, will be planted to form a display on the grass area to the front of St Wilfred's Church

A competition will run for children to guess how many mice they can find, something that is currently top secret says Glynis.

There is also one mouse called Mungo who will be hidden in the town. A prize will be given for the correct number of mice found, and where to find Mungo

Both Christina and Glynis hope it will be the start of an annual trail in addition to the town's floral displays.
